Doyel goes on to savage Bond and the media outlets who distorted his story that could damage Newton's career.

Bond isn't a source -- he's a gossip. He doesn't have information. He has a rumor. He's the fourth person in a game of telephone tag that started with Rogers -- allegedly -- and went through two other people before landing in the lap of Mississippi State devotee John Bond.

And that's enough to throw Cam Newton and Auburn under the bus?

Now that rumor has launched an NCAA investigation and more tales of Newton's misdeeds.
